    Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

    Timing chains last much, much longer than a timing belt, if not indefinitely. It is unusual for them to fail. Timing belts on the other hand need regular replacement as they do age, crack, wear and break.

    Then you're putting your life on the line by plugging tires. It's very, very dangerous to do so. Just a FYI. Most road hazard warranty plans are 10% of the cost of the tire, so for the $150 tire you need, it would be about $15 each to cover them, or only $60 for the set. Not a bad deal at...

    Fog Lights Only

    There are amber/yellow fog lights and then there are white diving lights. There's a big difference in usage and performance.

    Fog Lights Only

    Search YouTube to see the difference in the fog between true yellow/amber fog lights and white driving lights. The difference and advantage true fog lights provide in driving in the fog over white driving lights is quite noticeable.

    Sure, a tire can be plugged and we can also drive around with only one lug nut tightened down and the other three loose. However, that doesn't make it safe. The problem with tire plugs is that they can ineed seal the air leak in the tire, but they don't completely fill and seal the hole in...

    I thought you had said it's not uncommon for you to be plugging tires that have been punctured from pieces of metal in the road from some business near your home? A Goodyear store should have the tires you need right in stock and if not, they can round them up the same or next day and you can...

    Fog Lights Only

    Many times vehicle manufacturers, or aftermarket, marketing departments will refer to those lights as fog lights, but they are not. Fog lights have an amber/yellow lens and bulb so it cuts through the fog better. White lights are driving lights for seeing down the road further. I don't...

    VIDEO - Tinted, Smoked, etc., Tail Lights Are Illegal

    Come on gang, this is a safety item, affects anyone who would be behind you that can't see your brake lights and consequently rear-ends your car, hurting someone or worse. Common sense. Please don't do this.

    Fog Lights Only

    Fog lights are not white. Honest to gosh fog lights are amber/yellow and cut through the fog much better for better driver visibility than with white lights. If the additional lights to the headlights are white, they are driving lights to reach further down the road for better nighttime...

    Also, the doughnut/space saver tire is meant for only temporary use. Most of them are 50 miles maximum. Plus, driving the car around with one mismatched tire size will lead to uneven handling, braking and can result in a spin and a crash, especially in an emergency stop where the brakes have...

    I recommend you cancel the order from the online discount tire store and go with your local tire store. They will provide you with a lower total price and provide better service too, (free rotations). Also, you can purchase a road hazard warranty on all the tires and have them protected so if...

    Tint the Tailights?

    Cdsetxo - It is not legal to alter original equipment lighting or lenses. Both these items are regulated by federal law and are safety items. I'm a state licensed vehicle safety inspector and you can't legally do this to a car registered to be driven on public roads as it's dangerous and could...

    The price your local tire store gave you for the tire + installation is much better than what you were quoted from the online discount store, where you will have to pay for mounting and balancing of the tire, which wont be cheap. Also, purchasing tires locally you'll have a warranty and free...

    Grinding Noise on Start and No Traction

    They replaced the starter under an extended warranty and not the regular warranty? If so, you are extremely lucky as extended warranties don't cover normal wear and tear items, which a starter is. With the new tires, be sure to have a four wheel alignment done on your vehicle as quickly as...
